JFS hosts aging presentation

The community is invited to join Jewish Family Service for a free presentation on caregiving and growing older gracefully with award-winning author and national media guest Janis Abrahms Spring.

"Aging Happens: Exploring the Joys and Heartaches of this Extraordinary Journey, will be 7 p.m.to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, at Rockdale Temple, 8501 Ridge Road.

With unsparing honesty and humor, Spring will use poignant movie clips to address the joy and imposition, the happiness and heartache of caregiving - dealing with living arrangements, sibling rivalries, money anxieties, healthcare and end-of-life decisions.

Based on her award-winning book, "Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent," she'll also offer universal lessons about how to grow old gracefully and survive this ordinary, extraordinary journey.

Spring is a guest expert in national media such as "Good Morning America," NPR, The New York Times, Huffington Post and more. She is a professional speaker at The Smithsonian Institute, the 92nd St. Y, Smith College, Harvard's Educational Conferences, and Kripalu Institute.
